Abstract

A pharmaceutical sample storage system in which the accommodation volume of a saple tube (200,300) is increased is disclosed and claimed. The molding of the storage rack (100) is easy. The sample tubes (200,300) in the storage rack (100) are locked in place and will not fall out even if the storage rack (100) is turned upside down. Placing and removing sample tubes (200,300) from the storage rack is highly accurate. The sample storage system is sealed and the storage rack vertically accommodates a plurality of sample tubes (200,300) in a matrix. The sample tubes (200,300) are rectangular in cross-section and are hollow. The sample tubes (200,300) are tapered toward the bottom portion of the sample tube and the outer surfaces of the sample tubes are chamfered. The storage rack (100) has a lower grate-shaped bottom portion (120) which is partitioned by cross members. The bottom portion of the sample tube (200,300) being fitted into one partitioned portion of the grate-shaped bottom portion (120) and has sample tube supporting pins (130,140) vertically provided upward from each intersection of gratings or cross members of the grate-shaped bottom portion (120).
